[ES40-developers] Segfault in CDisk constructor

[Brian W. <bdw...@in...>]

I'm getting a segfault when the free(devid_string) is being run.  I
added a line to print out the value of devid_string prior to the free()
and here's what I get:

Is it some weird clash between Disk.h's protected devid_string and
SystemComponent's public devid_string?  commenting out the free() causes
everything to work ok.

It looks like it was added in version 1.9 which was jan 9th.  Since it
has been working, I suspect that the compiler just glossed over the
problem until something recently was changed (or an optimization change)
